Ask Carole

Welcome! I created this blog to answer some of the questions people have been asking about the CTA's funding situation. We on the board have asked many of these same questions, and we want to help get the word out. So please feel free to send comments or questions to CTAboard@transitchicago.com, and check back regularly for answers and updates to our efforts to increase transit funding. -- Carole

CTA Holiday Train

One of my favorite parts of CTA is the Holiday Train, a fully decorated train that includes music, colored lights, special holiday-themed advertising and Santa's sleigh on a flatcar. Each year CTA employees volunteer their time to decorate the train and deliver holiday gift baskets to community organizations throughout our service area. Two weeks ago I had the privilege of helping Santa deliver gifts in Pilsen, and this weekend the Train will be traveling the Green Line. Check out the schedule here to see when Santa is coming to your neighborhood.
